How I agree with you on so many of your points.

There was a time when Tennant played it rough… when he had some rage and danger in him.  I remember, particularly, in Human Nature – I think it was season 3 of the new season, where the family of alien hunters were looking for him, and he and Martha were in (I think) year 1913,…[Read more]

@ConfusedPolarity     In earlier eras, would the Doctor have been so affected by their loss?

I think that both of your answers are of course correct. In the real world, audiences today do want lots of emotion. This is why we now see all kinds of back story and personal life for the companions, which never happened BG. And it’s why the Doctor see…[Read more]

@ScaryB    Like @ConfusedPolarity, I definitely found Matt Smith too young to “crush” on, but for myself, I don’t need to find the doctor attractive in that way, and I loved his quirky alien approach to the part. I am, however, delighted that the doctor will once again be older than I am, although only just!  🙂

Regarding the prospect of a les…[Read more]

@ConfusedPolarity  While for the most part, I had no problem with the silliness, I love this sentence:  He was more Approaching Light Shower than Oncoming Storm.

Fully agree with your second point regarding alien rudeness (“brusqueness” is a good word as well). The ninth was also good at that, although due to the way his relationship with Rose w…[Read more]

@ConfusedPolarity

Interesting post, though I thought

not to mention being far too young and unlined for a woman of 44 to find attractive

was a bit of a sweeping statement 😉 Fortunately different people find different things attractive.

I agree that Capaldi is a brilliant actor and I’m looking forward to seeing where he goes with the c…[Read more]

@fiveroundsrapid – I have not come across those before… at all. Hmmm, hope you find them anyhow!

@confusedpolarity – Yes indeed! And Tom Baker was also my favourite for quite a while (though even before him I guess it would of been Pertwee as he is my (considered) first Doctor), but gradually Hartnell became my favourite, and Troughton second…[Read more]

hopefully the mistake will have been learned from

@confusedpolarity

What, you mean like now holding any vaguely spoilerish location filming in the middle of a high security RAF base or an SAS training ground? Yeah, I think they’ve learned a few things. 😈

Mind you, I do keep wondering who’s the Whovian at the MOD… 🙂

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@confusedpolarity

The last thing they’ll want is a blurry image on the internet stealing their thunder!

As when they started filming Series 5 in what they thought was an out-of-the-way location. To discover, to their dismay, that the entire Internet was discussing the new Doctor’s costume almost the second Matt Smith stepped out of the costume v…[Read more]

@theprettyreckless – Welcome to the forum!

@confusedpolarity – Also… welcome! I too love the Second Doctor, he’s probably my second favourite… while the First Doctor is… my first favourite? Okay. Yes. I think that made sense.

@phaseshift – Ah ‘The Daleks’, great serial! And ‘The Time Meddler’ is also a awesome story; glad to hear its going…[Read more]

Welcome (and to anyone else who has signed in recently I’ve not mentioned – been away for a few days so still catching up). Plenty of room on the Sofa @ConfusedPolarity. We can always knock a wall through if required.
